Jake was already well equipped, but when he discovered many boxes full of ammunition of all types, he took the opportunity to replenish his supplies. He still had his old apartment to clear out, which was still on the same islet lost in the middle of a lake, but it was possible that a group of vagrants had already squatted and robbed it, just as he himself had ransacked a farm without the slightest restraint.
Being already well-equipped, he soon lost interest in the family armoury, which was not worth the one at the New Earth Research Center. Not everyone was, however. Even though almost everyone had decent equipment, one could never be too careful.
So the holidays are over for me and the second Ordeal begins :)
The setting remains vague enough not to spoil you completely, but it already gives you some ideas.
Edit: a paragraph has been duplicated at the end of the chapter I don't know how and I can't delete it because it is more than 100 words. I need to wait for help from my editor to do it.
The chapter cost is not affected since it would still be between 1600-1800 words (9coins)
Sorry for the hindrance.
